Chapter seven: Magical keys
The lovers, once again entered the second extension of the cave, they walked the stony path, cautiously and carefully, and they were safe by the garden, but for how long? They walked into the dark cave, but the glitter in each other's eyes gave them light and hopes.
Because, after this, just after they finish this quest, they'll be together, and it's because they promised
They walked, once again, hand in hand, not letting each other go. They courageously overcome they're fears and reached the bottom of the cave, where they can find torches hanging in the wall, that lit by itself, and also a ancient looking door. . . that's locked
"What are we going to do, Tamahome" Miaka complained, "It just won't budge"
"Don't worry, we'll find a way" said Tamahome while kicking the door
"Ta. . . Tamahome, look" Miaka gazed at the bracelets Nuriko lent her
They were shining; a red light, both Miaka and Tamahome stared in awe, why is it shining? Is it a good omen? Or just exactly the other way around?
"Why is it. . .?" Miaka gasped, she's still amazed by the light
"Miaka! Watch out!" Tamahome warned her lover, but it was too late
Before Miaka could even react, the psycho got hold of her, he then placed the ancient knife under Miaka's chin, obviously taking her hostage
"My daughter! Oh, How I missed you so badly!" the psycho laughed wickedly while tightening his grip on Miaka
Miaka screamed in pain, this scream was also tearing Tamahome's heart, he promised to protect her, but still, why had this happened? Anger got the hold of him, he swore to protect Miaka and he'll keep his word.
"What's the matter???" the psycho said sarcastically "Afraid??! I told you so. . . Love! Pweh! It's a worthless emotion only silly humans possess! hahahaha!" he then licked Miaka's ear
"Ta. . . Tamahome" Miaka shed tears
Tamahome was still silent then closed his eyes
"Tamahome. . . he. . . help" Miaka whispered
"Is that right?! Your giving up?!" he laughed wickedly but then he was greatly surprised when Tamahome shot a deadly stare at him
"Miaka. . ." Tamahome whispered sincerely to her, then once again, closed his eyes
"Ta. . . Tamahome" Miaka then nodded, her heart is filled with fear but still chose to trust her lover
He opened his blue eyes, filled with love for Miaka, the 'oni' sign on his forehead brightened that also gave a different aura on Tamahome, his fists started to glow dark red, he then position it at the psycho. . . out there came a large red, spiritual ball that attacked him.
Unfortunately, the psycho fled, but still was greatly injured. Miaka fell sitting on the floor, strangely, unharmed, but still a bit frightened.
Tamahome looked down on his Miaka, he was surprised when she suddenly jumped up with tears in her eyes then hugged him, while he hugged back
He whispered into her ear "I'll protect you, Miaka, no matter what!"
"You just did, Tamahome" he then felt her smile
"Miaka. . ."
"Tamahome, we promised, right? We'll get married after we get the rings, and the answers just ahead us" Miaka pointed at the door that was opening by itself
"Wha. . .?" Tamahome was speechless
"Love, don't question fate, let's go" Miaka held her hand and lead the way
But before they go, Tamahome pulled his lover towards him, kissed her deeply and hugged her
"My. . . daughter" he then laughed wickedly and hid behind the shadows of the once peaceful cave
. . .to be continued. . .
